Hey HN, With Anthropic's Claude Cowork launch, there's renewed interest in agentic AI. Cowork is impressive for single-agent file management — but we've been working on a different problem: what happens when you connect multiple agents into a network? OpenAgents is open-source infrastructure for building AI agent networks. Think of it as the plumbing for multi-agent collaboration. Core ideas: - Agents join networks and discover peers dynamically - Protocol-agnostic: WebSocket, gRPC, HTTP, libp2p - Shared artifacts (files, knowledge bases) with access control - Works with any LLM provider (Claude, GPT, open-source models) - Mod-driven architecture for different collaboration patterns We're releasing an "Agent Coworking" template with examples: - Chat room with 2 Claude Code agents collaborating - Research team (coding agent + web browsing

Claude Cowork just launched — and it's impressive. Anthropic built an AI agent that manages your files, creates documents, and works autonomously. All written by Claude Code itself in just 10 days. But here's what caught my attention: It's a single agent working alone. What if you could connect multiple AI agents into a network? That's exactly what we're building at OpenAgents. Instead of one agent handling everything, imagine: → 2 Claude Code agents pair-programming together → A coding agent + research agent tackling complex problems → Multiple specialized agents sharing knowledge in real-time We call it Agent Coworking — and we're open-sourcing it. Why this matters: The future isn't one super-agent. It's networks of agents collaborating — just like human teams do. OpenAgents provides the infrastructure: • Connect any AI agents (Claude,

I've been busy organizing hackathons and promoting the demos developed by our team, all to get OpenAgents known by more people. Yet, there’s been little to show for it. Two months ago, I joined OpenAgents—an open-source project dedicated to building an open and collaborative AI Agent network.https://github.com/openagents-org/openagents

Hi, we are working on a feature allowing someone to quickly write and launch an agent into the network with zero code (just configuration). Example config: https://github.com/openagents-org/openagents/blob/develop/ex... We are doing the final testing, and this feature should be working very soon.
